Next Tech Meeting March 10, 2009, 7:15 MIT Sloane School ROOM
*E51-335*(Sloane/Tang)
*on other hallway from our old "usual"
* *Hacking the WD Mybook 2 with Perl*

   - *Federico Lucifredi*
      - Building a cheap and very compact Linux NAS appliance
      - Polishing it with Perl glue

 "I am using Perl glue to put together a cheap and small Linux NAS from the
Western Digital Mybook II - there are a bunch of hackers doing this, but I
wanted mine to have a certain "detail" and so some scripting here and there
was required to make it happen - obviously in Perl.

"It may be too optimistic, and certainly smaller in scale, but the WDMBII is
starting to spawn a little community movement similar to the Linksys
WRT54G."
